Preparation

• Ensure all surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free from grease and loose or flaking material that may impair adhesion
• Any faults in the substrate, particularly those that can lead to moisture penetration, must be rectified or can affect the finish quality
• If your substrate has been previously painted, rub down with a fine waterproof abrasive paper and then rinse thoroughly
• Bare substrates should also be abraded to allow improved adhesion
• To improve inter-coat adhesion, repeat between all additional coats
• Please avoid inhaling any sanding dust and always wear a face mask if fine sanding
• Special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960’s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from algae, lichen & other growths - use Wethertex C10 Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash on affected areas
• On new or bare timber ensure the surface is pretreated with a good quality suitable preservative
